Carlos left for the Academy and as per the rule say's he can't visit home for another upcoming four years, he was sad about this fact but convinced himself that he'll return at Iris's first coming of age.

Such that four years passed by...

Iris soak every given knowledge from both  her father and mother, also find out how much of a strict teachers they can be.

Iris started to accompany her father to Royal court, when asked for suggestions by her father, she gave her ideas on things after pondering and thinking carefully, which impressed many for the Noble's.

Also increase the admiration towards their future rules, of course there's some who are still stuck at their greedy thoughts of acquiring the power.

Whereas, Sometimes she go with her mother to various tea party, attended some which her mother hosted,  which really bored her to death but still she don't get a chance to say NO after seeing her mother smiling hopeful face.

She truly is just like her father but a little less gentle, but even so, she can't bring in herself to reject her mother. Iris grows up quickly, becoming more mature than others but in front of her parents, she'll always stay like a little princess.

As of now, Iris is sitting with her mother having their usual afternoon tea together, its a rest day for Iris that she likes to spend just relaxing with her mother, it have become a habit. Elisa looked at her daughter, she's really proud of her.

Iris have learned everything of etiquette from her in just past six years, which took herself at least ten to twelve years master it. She signed and said looking at Iris with a pained expression "Iris...... I'm sorry"

Iris blink her eyes in confusion and asked "what are you sorry for mother? I don't understand?". Elisa looked in her daughter's eyes and said "It's our fault that you have to go through soo much training and learning from such a small age--"

But before Elisa could finish her sentence, Iris cut her of while saying gently "mother, its no one's fault or have I ever blamed you or father. I know its my duty as a heir of the Kingdom to learn everything from the young age, and I'm more than happy that, throughout all these years I was able to spend more of my time with you both. Now promise me you'll never feel like you're burdening me ever"

Elisa chuckle lightly looking at her serious daughter, patting Iris's head and said "ah, my little daughter seems to grown up so much" Elisabeth's eyes softened more, then she remembers something and said "Iris this month is your coming of age ceremony. How about if we ask Britney to came tomorrow we have to customize your ball gown after all"

"You know that you have to start the first dance of the evening with your father. ah, another thing.... Carlos is coming too so how about he escort you."

Iris smile at her mother's excitement and said "ok, its been really while since i saw him...." and thought 'I do exchange some letters and gifts with him, but it's really been a while since we met, brother Carlos and I have been so busy with our trainings'

"Um...mother we still have three weeks to prepare, I think the gown will get ready within one week"

Elisa said "Iris its a gown, and more so your first coming of age gown, it have to be perfect so i want to give more time to finish it. We're having Britney personally making it and its final"

The next day, Lady Britney the owner of one of the most renowned tailor boutique which was also the place where Albert and Elisa first met, she have came herself all the way to Siberia on a short notice.

'lady Britney is the most famous designer and mother's Ally, no one can make the perfect ball gown other than her while coping up with my mother's suggestions' Iris thought to herself as she looked at lady Britney listening to her mother's blabbering about her dress.

Her mother as always was much more excited and enthusiastic about her gown more than Iris herself.

She listen to her mother talking about colour for her gown, she doesn't actually wear too light for colours, but her mother seems to wanna see her daughter in the lightest color available for her coming of age....that is non other than creamy white.

Not like she mind as long as her mother's happy. They settled down on designs and fabrics, while Iris just sit on the side waiting for her measurements to get taken....

After all the things were done, Iris invited lady Britney to have lunch with them.

Which Lady Britney happily accepted
